Any experienced ACV drinker will know that it's important to dilute the liquid before use since its high acetic content can damage the sensitive skin in your throat. Everyday Health contends that it may even lead to a burn in your esophagus — so, if you still want to use ACV on a regular basis, ensure that it's properly weakened with water or another neutralizing substance. Plus, the same phenomenon can lead to tooth erosion and lower your potassium levels. If you're taking medications, it's important to check if they have any interactions with this wellness additive as well, the outlet notes.
Furthermore, particularly if you suffer from acid reflux, any highly-concentrated acidic substance will make matters worse. Women's Health explains that ACV even ranks between a level two and three on the acidic scale, with zero being the most acidic and seven being the least. With other ailments, including kidney issues, ACV can cause more harm than good. "There has been some research to show that if you do have any sort of weakened kidneys or immunocompromised kidneys, then consuming anything that is highly acidic is not going to be advised," Lemein says.
Even though many have hailed apple cider vinegar as the cure-all antidote to various health issues, it may not work for everyone. Make sure to use ACV in moderation, if at all, when ingesting.
